Pickup Truck Weight Capacity

Whose pickup truck can carry more weight?

Brent's pickup truck can carry one fifth weight. Nina's pickup truck can carry 500 pounds.

Answer:

Nina's pickup truck can carry more weight compared to Brent's pickup truck.

To determine whose pickup truck can carry more weight, we need to compare the weight capacity of Brent's and Nina's pickup trucks. Brent's pickup truck can carry one fifth of the weight, which means it can carry 1/5 or 20% of the total weight. On the other hand, Nina's pickup truck can carry 500 pounds, which is a fixed weight capacity.

When we compare 1/5 of the weight to 500 pounds, we can calculate that 1/5 equals 2/10 in fraction form. By simplifying 2/10, we get 1/5. Therefore, Nina's pickup truck can carry 500 pounds, which is greater than 1/5 of the weight capacity. This means that Nina's pickup truck can carry more weight than Brent's pickup truck.
